PageAnimate Class

class metlinkpid.PageAnimate

The PageAnimate class holds constants for types of entry animations available to Pages.

Each constant has a string value which is used when converting Page objects to & from strings.

The documentation for each constant describes each available animation and any relevant considerations.

NONE Constant

PageAnimate.NONE = 'N'

Appear instantly.

Text not fitting on the display is clipped and never seen.

Page delay commences immediately.

VSCROLL Constant

PageAnimate.VSCROLL = 'V'

Scroll vertically into view from the bottom, and remain on the display.

Text not fitting on the display is clipped and never seen.

Page delay commences as soon as the text is fully displayed.

HSCROLL Constant

PageAnimate.HSCROLL = 'H'

Scroll horizontally into view from the right, simultaneously scrolling the previous page out of view to the left, then scroll out of view to the left.

Page delay commences after all scrolling text becomes fully invisible, so usually a delay of 0 is desired in conjunction with HSCROLL.
